No: At 20, your growth plates in the long bones have stopped growing, so there is nothing to get taller with, sorry !

Probably not: As long as you are eating properly, exercising, and getting enough rest, there is nothing you can do to get taller than you were meant to be from inheritance Enjoy good health!
